The following information was compiled from family bible records, books 
and records provided to me by the Kandiyohi Historical Society, Norwegian 
census documents, a contact  at the University of Tromso in Norway, and 
Janet Grey in St Cloud, Minnesota who had alot of family records on the 
Johnson/Nilson family.

THE OLSON/NILSEN/JOHNSON/ELVEBAK FAMILY

PERNILLE JOHANNESDATTER was born in Storsteinleia, Mo Parish, Nordland, 
Norway in 1798.  She married Nils Johannessen in 1825.  They had 5 
children, Jacob Nilsen, Per Kristian Nielsen, Pernille Nilsdatter, 
Johannes Nilsen Elvebak, Nils Nilsen Elvebak.  (Of these children only 
Jacob remained in Norway). Pernille's husband died in 1834 several months 
before his youngest son was born.  Pernille married Johan Andreassen in 
1836.  They were the parents of Andreas Johansson (Andres Johnson), Ane 
Marie Johansdatter, and Dorothea Johansdatter (married Tideman 
Ulrickson).  Pernille and John Anderson followed their children to 
America and settled in Kandeyohi County near Willmar Minnesota.
